The Disability Discrimination Act, updated on 1 October 2004, applies to any organisation that supplies good, services or facilities to the public. When installing a fire detection and alarm system, you need to make provision for deaf and disabled employees and visitors with disabled refuge, flashing beacons and strobes.
Access control regulations
You can provide assistance to those with limited dexterity in compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) by installing devices in your access control system such as proximity readers or automatic doors, turnstiles or barriers.
